Dopamine receptors in human foetal brains:Characterization, regulation and ontogeny of [3H]spiperone binding sites in striatum

Eighteen corpora striata from normal human foetal brains ranging in gestational age from 16 to 40 weeks and five from post natal brains ranging from 23 days to 42 years were analysed for the ontogeny of dopamine receptors using [3H]spiperone as the ligand and 10 mM dopamine hydrochloride was used in blanks. Spiperone binding sites were characterized in a 40-week-old foetal brain to be dopamine receptors by the following criteria: (1) It was localized in a crude mitochondrial pellet that included synaptosomes; (2) binding was saturable at 0.8 nM concentration; (3) dopaminergic antagonists spiperone, haloperidol, pimozide, trifluperazine and chlorpromazine competed for the binding with IC50 values in the range of 0.3–14 nM while agonists—apomorphine and dopamine gave IC50 values of 2.5 and 10 μM, respectively suggesting a D2 type receptor.Epinephrine and norepinephrine inhibited the binding much less efficiently while mianserin at 10 μM and serotonin at 1 mM concentration did not inhibit the binding. Bimolecular association and dissociation rate constants for the reversible binding were 5.7 × 108 M−1 min−1 and 5.0 × 10−2 min−1, respectively. Equilibrium dissociation constant was 87 pM and the KD obtained by saturation binding was 73 pM.During the foetal age 16 to 40 weeks, the receptor concentration remained in the range of 38–60 fmol/mg protein or 570–1080 fmol/g striatum but it increased two-fold postnatally reaching a maximum at 5 years Significantly, at lower foetal ages (16–24 weeks) the [3H]spiperone binding sites exhibited a heterogeneity with a high (KD, 13–85 pM) and a low (KD, 1.2–4.6 nM) affinity component, the former accounting for 13–24% of the total binding sites. This heterogeneity persisted even when sulpiride was used as a displacer. The number of high affinity sites increased from 16 weeks to 24 weeks and after 28 weeks of gestation, all the binding sites showed only a single high affinity.GTP decreased the agonist affinity as observed by dopamine competition of [3H]spiperone binding in 20-week-old foetal striata and at all subsequent ages. GTP increased IC50 values of dopamine 2 to 4.5 fold and Hill coefficients were also increased becoming closer to one suggesting that the dopamine receptor was susceptible to regulation from foetal life onwards.

The effect of minor addition of Ni on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of suction cast Al-0.14 at. pct Sc binary alloy

Aluminum scandium binary alloys represent a promising precipitation-hardening alloy system. However, the hardness of the binary alloys decreases with the rapid coarsening of Al3Sc precipitate during high-temperature aging. In the current study, we report a new approach to compensate for the loss of mechanical properties by combining rapid solidification with very small ternary addition of transition metal Ni. This addition yields dispersion, and at a critical concentration improves the mechanical properties. We explore additions of a maximum of 0.06 at. pct of Nickel to a binary Al-0.14 at. pct Sc alloy, which yield nickel-rich dispersions. We report two kinds of biphasic dispersions containing AlNi2Sc/Al9Ni2 and alpha-Al/Al9Ni2 phase combinations. The maximum improvement in mechanical properties occurs with the addition of 0.045 at. pct Ni with a yield strength of 239 +/- A 7 MPa for an aging treatment at 583 K (310 A degrees C) for 15 hours.

Heat conduction mechanisms in hot pressed ZrB2 and ZrB2-SiC composites

Thermal diffusivity and conductivity of hot pressed ZrB2 with different amounts of B4C (0-5 wt%) and ZrB2-SiC composites (10-30 vol% SiC) were investigated experimentally over a wide range of temperature (25-1500 degrees C). Both thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity were found to decrease with increase in temperature for all the hot pressed ZrB2 and ZrB2-SiC composites. At around 200 degrees C, thermal conductivity of ZrB2-SiC composites was found to be composition independent. Thermal conductivity of ZrB2-SiC composites was also correlated with theoretical predictions of the Maxwell Eucken relation. The dominated mechanisms of heat transport for all hot pressed ZrB2 and ZrB2-SiC composites at room temperature were confirmed by Wiedemann Franz analysis by using measured electrical conductivity of these materials at room temperature. It was found that electronic thermal conductivity dominated for all monolithic ZrB2 whereas the phonon contribution to thermal conductivity increased with SiC contents for ZrB2-SiC composites.

Two-Phase Flow With Phase Change in Porous Channels

Phase change heat transfer in porous media finds applications in various geological flows and modern heat pipes. We present a study to show the effect of phase change on heat transfer in a porous channel. We show that the ratio of Jakob numbers based on wall superheat and inlet fluid subcooling governs the liquid-vapor interface location in the porous channel and below a critical value of the ratio, the liquid penetrates all the way to the extent of the channel in the flow direction. In such cases, the Nusselt number is higher due to the proximity of the liquid-vapor interface to the heat loads. For higher heat loads or lower subcooling of the liquid, the liquid-vapor interface is pushed toward the inlet, and heat transfer occurs through a wider vapor region thus resulting in a lower Nusselt number. This study is relevant in the designing of efficient two-phase heat exchangers such as capillary suction based heat pipes where a prior estimation of the interface location for the maximum heat load is required to ensure that the liquid-vapor interface is always inside the porous block for its operation.

Efecto de labranza del suelo y métodos de control de malezas sobre la dinámicas de las malezas, el crecimiento y rendimiento del frijol común (Phaseolus vulgaris) primera 1995

En el ciclo de primera mayo-septiembre 1995, en la estación experimental, La Compañía, ubicada en el municipio de San Marcos departamento de Carazo, se realizó el presente estudio con el objetivo de evaluar la efectividad y la influencia de tres sistemas de labranzas (cero, mínima y convencional) y tres métodos de control de malezas (pre-emergente más cobertura. pre-emergente más chapia y pre-emergente más post-emergente), sobre la dinámica de las malezas, el crecimiento y rendimiento del cultivo de frijol común (P haseolus vulgaris L.). Para este estudio se utilizó un diseño experimental de Parcelas Divididas en arreglos de Bloques Completos al Azar. estableciéndose en la parcela grande el factor labranza de suelo y en la pequeña los controles de maleza. Los datos recopilados de las variables en estudio fueron sometidos a un análisis de varianza y comparaciones de medias a través de DUNCAN al 5 % de significancia. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que labranza convencional y el control de malezas pre-emergente más cobertura obtuvieron los menores promedios en cuanto a abundancia y dominancia de malezas, no obstante labranza cero y el control pre-emergente más control mecánico obtuvieron las mayores abundancias de malezas. Referente a las variables de crecimiento en frijol, el tratamiento labranza mínima y el control de malezas pre-emergente más cobertura resultaron con mayores promedios de altura de planta. Mientras que labranza cero y el control pre­ emergente más post-emergente promediaron los menores valores. En cuanto a las variables de los componentes del rendimiento en el cultivo de frijol los tratamientos variaron en su comportamiento, sin embargo labranza mínima obtuvo los mayores rendimientos de grano con 981 kg/ha y el control de malezas pre-emergente más chapia con 1 O 12 kg/ha. Los menores rendimientos de grano fueron obtenidos en labranza cero y pre-emergente más cobertura. resultados de una mayor competencia con las malezas, menor número de plantas cosechadas, vainas por planta y peso de grano. Los resultados del análisis económico a través del presupuesto parcial y de dominancia muestra que labranza mínima y el control pre-emergente más chapia con mayores beneficios económicos, ya que sus costos son moderados y se obtienen ingresos netos rentables.

Relations veritables et curieuses de l'isle de Madagascar et du Bresil : avec l'histoire de la derniere guerre faite au Bresil, entre les portugais & les hollandois : trois relations d'Egypte, e une du royaume de Perse

‘Relations veritables et curieuses de l'Isle de Madagascar, et du Bresil’, de responsabilidade do livreiro Augustin Courbé, foi redigida em parte por Morisot, de DiJon, com base em documentos fornecidos pelos irmãos Dupuy. A obra, composta por dois volumes reunidos em um tomo, contém diversos relatos. Muita confusão existe acerca dessa edição de Courbé, seja relativamente ao número de volumes da obra, seja quanto à autoria dos relatos. Borba de Moraes a firma que "esses erros decorrem da raridade do trabalho completo". O primeiro volume, apresentado sob o titulo geral ‘Relations veritables et curieuses de l’Isle de Madagascar, et du Bresil’, contém os trabalhos ‘Relation du voyage de François Couché...: De la religion, moeurs, et façons de faire de ceux de I'Lsle de Madagascar: colloque entre le madagascarois et le françois...’, e ‘Re1ation du voyage de Roulox Baro’. O segundo volume é intitulado ‘Histoire des derniers troubles du Bresil entre les hollandois et les portugais’ e foi escrito por Pierre Moreau, cujo texto ocupa as 212 páginas iniciais. Além deste, constam do volume ‘Trois relations d'Egypte et autres memoires...’ e a ‘Relation d'um voyage de Perse’. Prod uzida a partir da observação dos fatos ocorridos durante o período de sua permanência em Pernambuco durante a ocupação pelos holandeses, a obra de Moreau é de capital importância para o estudo da situação socioeconômica de Pernambuco sob o domínio holandês. A edição de A. Courbé, conhecido livreiro que se estabeleceu em Paris de 1629 a 1660, teve o projeto das ilustrações a cargo de Jean Picard, oriundo de uma famosa família de gravadores, cujo nome aparece no primeiro volume apenas, segundo Borba de Moraes

Nova Lusitania : historia da guerra brasilica : a purissima alma e saudosa memoria do Serenissimo Principe Dom Theodosio, Principe de Portugal, e Principe do Brasil : por Francisco de Brito Freyre : decada primeira

Francisco de Brito Freire nasceu em Coruche, em 1625, e morreu em Lisboa, em 1692. Foi capitão de cavalaria da Província da Beira, governador da Praça de Juromenha, no Alentejo, e conselheiro de guerra, tendo sido, por duas vezes, almirante da armada portuguesa no Brasil. Foi governador de Pernambuco e assinou a capitulação dos holandeses em 1654. Como autor original, Brito Freire pôde observar pessoalmente os acontecimentos e relatá-los a seu modo. Os autores puristas do século XIX consideravam-no escritor de grande credibilidade. ‘Nova Lusitana, historia da guerra brasilica..’ que sempre foi considerado um clássico, é uma das melhores fontes sobre os eventos que o correram em Pernambuco, entre 1630 e 1638 . A condição de governador de Brito Freire possibilitou o seu acesso à ampla documentação, tanto portuguesa com o holandesa. permitindo-lhe formular uma opinião própria e narrar, em primeira mão, aqueles eventos. Rico em detalhes curiosos, corajoso nas críticas políticas, trata-se de um livro raro e procurado.
